I've reached out to them in case they want to comment on this.
I don't understand the benefit of putting it in the main tree - where would it
ideally live? The connector doesn't link into the primary gem5 targets anyway
- it builds its own .so that, when loaded by SST, then loads
libgem5_{opt,debug,fast}.so.
